After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Chapter 99 The Gluttonous Little Witch

Construction site.

An Xiao had no idea that she had inexplicably become the fish people's last lifeline.

Little did they know that on the distant ocean, someone was slowly sailing towards them a "large ship" that they desperately needed.

At this moment, he is holding blueprints, standing on the coastline, looking at the brand-new project "Shadow Harbor" in front of him.

Half a month has passed.

Ever since the idea of ​​starting a shipping route came to him, he summoned Hoshino and Hogan, and the group began to work on the design.

The plan is to "build a port".

Currently, the materials such as bone fragments, stone, burnt sand, and magical materials are basically in place. The engineering puppets made by Lilia are busy as bees, and the little eagles are flying back and forth in the sky carrying things.

After having the "Azure Tide Hunters" survey the seabed topography, Nivea and Xiao An confirmed the direction of the wind and waves, and Hela used magic to mark the coordinates of the port, dock, and lighthouse, they finished.

With the combined efforts of the entire army, the foundation of the entire "Shadow Harbor" has been thoroughly laid.

"Creator, did we design the breakwater according to the blueprints?"

Hogan asked in detail.

"Yes, just reserve a port entrance and exit, and then install a bone-made lifting door. We need to enclose a safe inner harbor area and bring it within the sight of the lighthouse."

An Xiao's explanation was clear.

This port held great significance for him.

First, it controls the landing zone; second, it separates the military port from the civilian port area; and then, it can directly enter the main pass of the Dark Rift through the waterway inside the gate to receive cross-inspection from the four watchtowers.

It can defend the coast, divert newly released ships, or anchor the fleet that one will soon have. Its strategic significance is undeniable.

"No problem, then we'll do it your way!"

Hogan is full of energy.

Behind him, a line of elite lizardman royal guards followed closely, exuding an imposing aura.

Now he's developed a bad habit: wherever he goes, he has to be followed by a small team, even if they're just standing around doing nothing, he still has to have a certain "prestige" —

An Xiao saw this but smiled without saying a word.

"Captain, the 'bone ship' you ordered to be built has been completed as a test prototype at Lilia's workshop and is ready to be deployed at sea."

The little fox wagged its tail as it reported to its leader.

"OK."

An Xiao nodded, "With the bone ship, salvage and patrols in the nearshore area should no longer be a problem."

Based on her experience in pioneering various simulation management games in her previous life, An Xiao deeply remembered a truth that most veterans agreed upon.

That is: "When you start with nothing, remember to go to sea and fish."

Fish and aquatic life are gifts from nature.

Even in this sea where the dead gather, it's impossible that there isn't a single fish.

The essence of the Black Dragon has been spread for many years, and An Xiao is certain that there must be underwater resources in this place that he has not yet had time to exploit.

Once Hogan has completed the construction of "Ghost Harbor", the underwater mining plan will be put on the agenda.

"By the way, how's Hela doing?"

An Xiao looked at the giant white bone lighthouse, which was three times taller than an ordinary watchtower, not far away, and asked.

"She's up there adjusting the 'Soul-Gathering Lamp.'"

The little fox said, "Ever since she discovered that she could use souls to convert magical particles, she has become obsessed with researching the corresponding magical items—and she has also completed all the tasks you left her."

She's now the manager of the Alchemy Hut, and Carol occasionally helps her out. As for the others, they simply lack the wisdom to understand alchemy.

"Yeah?"

An Xiao seemed to be thinking about it and felt that she should indeed find some time to reward her.

The so-called "task" is to help oneself extract Mana crystals.

I've been leading a group to level up outside these past few days, and I've crystallized quite a few corpses.

His combat rank had already reached LV20, and his creation rank had finally broken through to LV8, allowing him to master the new and mysterious skill [Mana Conservation].

The effect of this skill is to "reduce the mana cost of all resurrection spells, life-extending spells, crystal spells, etc. by 40%".

As the saying goes, "When the child dies, the milk comes."

An Xiao didn't understand why this wasn't unlocked before Lilia arrived.

With his Mana cap now at 800, he can now control an entire skeleton army, including 50 undead creatures, without being completely unable to afford to support it.

Looking ahead, it can be seen that if one unlocks Creation Rank 9, they will learn a brand new, even more unbeatable, group passive skill called "Holy Light Shield".

This skill can completely compensate for the shortcomings of your own creations, minimizing the damage caused by "holy magic" and "exorcising tools" to your creations.

It belongs to the Holy Resistance category.

"The future is promising."

An Xiao was in a good mood.

Leading the little fox behind him, he walked up the steps of the lighthouse and strolled around the top.

A sea breeze blows from high above, and small magic arrays are scattered throughout the tower.

These are all magical runes drawn by Hela stroke by stroke, including the "Defense Runes" and "Stabilization Runes" she recently learned.

Although the rank is not high, it is still considered to have been done with great care.

"Miss Hela, why are you working so hard? It seems like you've given up on sleep lately! You're working yourself to the bone for your master every day!"

You weren't like this before! Even when your supervisor was sleeping, you would choose to sleep more than 14 hours a day, euphemistically calling it "training."

Master, I will learn from you!

Xiao An's gossipy voice came from upstairs.

Soon after, Hela's melodious rebuttal followed: "You don't know anything! The reason I'm working so overtime is because I need to boost my contribution points! Do you understand what boosting contribution points means? More contribution points mean you get the 'right to flip cards'! I want the boss to mess with me, you know?"

She frantically drew the magic circle on the Soul Gathering Lamp through gritted teeth, as if all her actions were supported by this motivation.

At the corner, An Xiao and the little fox exchanged a glance, both sensing the witch's determination to win.

Hela continued, "After that little broom girl Lilia came, the boss seemed to become a different person."

"Mute? How did you become mute?"

"He doesn't hug the princess much anymore, he doesn't ride the big cat much, he bathes Xinuo less often, and he doesn't spank me as hard as last time—I think he must have been bewitched by that girl."

After all, my advisor once said that the more delicate a girl appears, the more alluring she is, and the more it fuels a man's desire to conquer her. I think that's definitely true.

An Xiao:

The witch's nonchalant remarks made him a little embarrassed.

But to be fair, what she said wasn't entirely wrong.

In the two weeks since Lilia arrived, the number of times she has slept with him has already exceeded ten.

It has become a white-filled, flaky pastry dessert exclusively for the Creator.

Although she offered to help at least twenty of these times, saying she wanted to "help deal with the side effects of the contract seal to improve work efficiency" ——————

However, An Xiao still chose to turn a blind eye and fulfill all her needs.

Now, all creation is holding its breath, wanting to reach the same level of treatment as her.

This kind of ecosystem is very unhealthy. An Xiao felt it was time to go up and talk to Miss Witch.

Hela.

He walked up the stairs of the lighthouse and arrived at the observation area at the top.

He put on a stern face, giving off a lecturing expression.

Hela was startled by his sudden appearance, her face flushing as she said, "Oh, boss! Didn't you hear the nonsense I just rambled on about?"

"Hmm, I didn't hear it."

"That's good, that's good. I thought I was going to get a spanking again—"

She looked regretful and muttered to herself.

"Let's leave those aside for now. How's your work going on your end?"

An Xiao looked around and inspected the structure of the top floor of the lighthouse.

It has everything: spellcasting zone, observation zone, command zone, and beacon fire zone.

The Soul-Gathering Lamp, positioned directly facing the sea, resembles a long telescope and is not currently activated.

"Boss, it's all done. If you'd like to try it out, wait until it gets dark, and I can let you take control, okay?"

Hela smirked, a wicked smile playing on her lips. "This is a useful tool that I've painstakingly tested. Please, just do me a favor, okay? Stay here tonight and help me test this new thing~ I beg you."

'

An Xiao raised her hand, signaling Xing Mi and the crow to move aside in an orderly fashion.

Xiao An flew out of the window, while Xing Mi had climbed such a high staircase for nothing.

Once only he and the witch were left at the top of the tower, An Xiao nodded in agreement to her request.

"Okay, this is a one-time thing, and it won't happen again. Consider it a recognition of your efforts during this period. But we have to make it clear that afterwards, you must calm down and focus on your work."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Hela immediately pounced on An Xiao, shouting, "I knew the boss was the best! Don't worry, boss, after tonight, no matter how many Mana crystals I condense for you..."

"I'll make as many props as you need, as long as you feed me again!"

"You're already thinking about next time before you've even eaten, huh?"

An Xiao caught the witch's delicate body and a brand new question popped into her mind.

He asked seriously, "By the way, are there any prohibitions in our sect that cannot be violated?"

Hela blinked: "What ban?"

"It's like—for example, what you can't do between fellow disciples."

An Xiao is quite meticulous.

His thought was that if the Gray Mist mentor didn't like improper senior-junior relationships between disciples, then he could...

This is the reason why we should conserve some energy.

But to everyone's surprise, after trying to understand, Hela immediately shook her head and said, "It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist at all."

Why?

"Leaving aside the fact that her mentor didn't set such a rule, she herself was a complete horny old maid."

"??"

An Xiao was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Really?"

"Yes, she told me long ago that a witch can only give her first time to the most important person in her life, and once she gives it, it is very difficult to continue to make any progress in the pursuit of supreme magic."

Look at her, she's almost promoted from Archmage to Sage now. Anyone with a brain knows she's obviously never met her first man.

As her first disciple, I completed this task for her. As her enlightened and benevolent teacher, she should support me! There's no reason for her to be unhappy!

Hela used her own logic to make her point logically and with evidence.

However, An Xiao quickly noticed another key point: "Since the Witch's progress will be difficult after breaking through her cultivation level, and you've only just reached the intermediate rank, do you really want to give up on your future?"

"Of course not."

Hela shook her head, as if she had already thought of a solution.

Looking into his eyes, he said solemnly, "If one day I can no longer become stronger..."

"I will choose to become an undead in front of my boss, and continue on as a necromancer with an eternal lifespan."

"I'd give my life for my boss."

Her eyes were resolute, as if the core message she wanted to convey did not include that she was a gluttonous and lustful woman.
